running solaris 8 and getting this error every 5 minutes.

ntpdate[214] [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 300 seconds before trying again.


Any ideas on why this message is occurring?

thanks

 
Look to see if you have a file /etc/inet/ntp.conf. This is the configuration file for ntp (Network Time Protocol). If this file is present, the daemon for ntp will start. On clients, the file ntp.conf will just have an entry for the ntp server.
